You're not always going to be motivated. So you must learn to be disciplined.

Course planning all day. Nearly done with the schedule and syllabus for the summer course.

Spotted some inky caps growing in the lawn across from my office on the way home.

Collapsed early in the evening and woke up at 3:00am, so I took the opportunity to do some reading in the quiet.

I'm grading papers and this is my new favorite way that a student has added my name.
